Hi
It looks like a male to me......can you get a picture from above? It's easier to sex them from above because you can see the width of their head.

yep! we love them! they are very brave too: the only fish that is not afraid to take food from my hand! and the only ones whom Neolamprologus Brichardi coudn't force from their rock.

Cool, how did you train them to feed off your hands?

well, actually, i did not train them, i simply put some food new their caves so that other fishes could not reach it before zebras do. first they hid, now they got used to it, and if i am late they search all over the shelf and even let me caress them a bit.
